‘Joy Kicks Darkness’ Lyrics

Monday, October 26th, 2009

Ash released the second single in the A-Z series ‘Joy Kicks Darkness’ today. Frontman Tim Wheeler has posted the lyrics of the song and a brief introduction message:

“I love that we’ve just released our second single in a month. We’re 6 shows into the tour and are having a blast. The Panama Kings have renamed the tour from A-Z to A-Dead. So far no casualties though.

Here are the lyrics for Joy Kicks Darkness to celebrate it’s release. The lyrics are about mortality with funeral pyre imagery and references to Ulysses. The title comes from a Jack Kerouac quote, I switched the first two words around.

We started recording the song a year ago and finished sometime in the spring. It’s so great to play live.

Many more beauties like this to come…”

The lyrics to the song are as follows:

Joy Kicks Darkness
On the wind the ashes rise
I’ve been searching for you all of my life
Tears are welling in your eyes
Listen to me Daddy, you don’t need to cry
For I know one of these days
I will travel there among the vast array and take my place

Here we go
we’ll leave all fear behind
Sailing into the sun
This is our time
Death and glory
Supreme sacrifice
We will meet again
On the other side
Rising into the light

We can’t wait, there is no time
You cannot predict when lightning will strike
There’s no chance to hesitate
Destiny has looked you straight in the face and called your name

Here we go
we’ll leave all fear behind
Sailing into the sun
This is our time
Death and glory
Supreme sacrifice
We will meet again
On the other side
Rising into the light
We’ll meet again
Be released in the end

Here we go
we’ll leave all fear behind
Sailing into the sun
This is our time
Death and glory
Supreme sacrifice
We will meet again
On the other side

Come on
We’re going into the light

Here we go
we’ll leave all fear behind
Sailing into the sun
This is our time
Death and glory
Supreme sacrifice
We will meet again
On the other side
